obviously riot was never going to give people 100% of the IP back. there is 0% chance of that ever getting past any board room. it is still lovely that they did not do it, but one has to have foreseen this. with that said this is an incredibly pointless battle to entrench yourself in. why are you doing this?

Mark? Is that you?

e: realistically I'll just never have to buy champions again, which was kind of status quo anyway with champ shards.

I just hope they have interesting choices in whatever system they replace runes with, I loved playing full pen Zyra and max AS yasuo and whatnot.

I have every champ and I started midseason after 2. I think I bought a grand total of three champs with RP in their release bundles because I really liked the skin and didn't have the IP handy.


I do not, however, have all the runes, just all the runes that have been good and in standard usage since season 4 or so. I do not feel like I will be robbed by only getting 40% of my IP from those runes back.

I can see wanting refunds for things that was almost a requirement for years and is suddenly for free. It's not like they were giving anyone super advantages over anyone else, it was just a burden tax we all paid for years until they were made free.

Costco is basically the best and comparing anyone to them is unfair

Edit here is a real question, how essential of an ability is Tristanas W? I've noticed most people leave it until last to max because it's clearly not as useful as Q or E but I can't think of a time I've actually used it, to the point where I usually just pump Q and E and dont even pick it up until late game. I feel like this is wrong but I don't know why, why is this wrong

I still think the dumbest thing is pretending rune pages still have value when you can change them in champ select. It's not surprising, since there would be a lot of RP spent on pages, but it's still dumb.

You generally want a point in to to have access to the jump, but it doesn't really do much damage since it's an AP scaling, and most of the time you don't want to be jumping right next to someone. The reset mechanic also diminishes the impact of the decreased CD. W serves simultaneously as an oh poo poo button and as a way to chase down routed enemies.

I said most of the time not all of the time. You're not exactly going to jump in during trades or during early stages of a team fight when you would just get cc'ed and blown up.

That makes sense. My damage has increased by ignoring it but if I misjudge their health and push them away with my ult I lose range. I guess I'll go back to getting it at 3

There are a few fun interactions like being able to cancel blitz hooks if the hook hits during the jump cast time.

but the people we are discussing in particular are the people that already have everything

if Riot creates a reason to use the IP (urf warwick skin) then it gives actual value to the people that blew tens of thousands of ip on useless lovely runes. the only thing they could realistically spend RP on is skins alone
